So with the lack of low end torque, coupled with high elevation, >5,000 ft, I find that I need to be in 2nd to really enjoy most turns. Shifting from 3rd to 2nd smoothly is slow and more difficult than 4 to 3, which I almost never need to be quick, (the stock gas pedal doesn't help, a wider one is on order) and since I never go into 1 while moving (and don't drag race)... why not have 2 and 3 across from each other? Is there a way to modify the shift pattern with some sort of different linkage? Or is it inherent to the whole layout of the transmission and therefore a completely stupid question?
